Nate King Pipe 551-19 Block Meerschaum Bamboo Billiard

While many who have delved into the world of meerschaum to only find poor fittings and badly constructed implements of tight drawing frustration, it is not an overstatement to say that a well constructed meer is a rare find.  Nate has managed to get his hands on a pure block meerschaum and fashioned it to a remarkable piece of six knuckled bamboo to create what is likely to be the best smoking device ever created.  Given his demand and commitment to exacting engineering and perfect drawing designs, it was perhaps inevitable that he would eventually find a piece of raw block to work with.  Clearly, the results are stunning.  Whether for special occasions, fancy duds, or simply in the pursuit of the perfect smoke, this is a fantastic tuxedo of a pipe.
